About Michelle
As the founder and creative director of Little Shell, LLC, I help businesses elevate their brand through thoughtful design, strategic marketing, and clear, engaging communication. With a Master of Science in Digital Media from Bellarmine University and nearly a decade of experience working across marketing, design, and digital media, I’ve spent my career helping organizations communicate their ideas more effectively and connect with the people they serve.
My background combines creative work with strategic thinking. Over the years I’ve developed marketing campaigns, created brand identities, designed digital and print materials, produced video content, and delivered presentations that help businesses tell their story with clarity and confidence. I’ve also built marketing initiatives from the ground up, helping organizations grow their visibility and achieve meaningful results.
At the heart of everything I do is a love for creating. I’ve always been drawn to the process of turning ideas into something tangible—whether that’s a brand identity, a website, a marketing campaign, or a presentation that helps a business communicate its message more clearly.

Why I Started Little Shell
I started Little Shell Marketing & Design because I saw how many small businesses struggle to access the kind of thoughtful marketing support that larger companies often take for granted.
Large agencies can offer impressive resources, but they often come with high costs, long timelines, and a more impersonal experience. I wanted to create something different—a place where businesses could work directly with someone who genuinely cares about their success.
When you partner with me, you’re not passed between departments or project managers. You’re working directly with the person designing your brand, shaping your strategy, and helping bring your vision to life.

My Approach
My approach is simple: combine creativity, strategy, and genuine collaboration.
I believe the best marketing happens when there’s a clear understanding of a business’s goals, audience, and personality. From there, design and messaging can come together in a way that feels authentic, cohesive, and memorable.
